Moreover, the analysis based on source of control suggested that rs4646903 could increase the risk for oral cancer in both population- and hospital-based populations, whereas no remarkable relationship of rs1048943 with oral cancer susceptibility was observed.
Among these 14 variants, 9 variants were reported to be significantly associated with the risk of oral cancer (CYP1A1-MspI, CYP2E1-RsaI/PstI, MTHFR-C677T, p73-G4C14-to-A4T14, XRCC1-Arg194Trp, CYP1A1-Ile462Val, GSTM1-±, and NAT2 slow vs rapid).
Compared with the previous meta-analysis, the overall data also failed to indicate a significant association of CYP1A1 Ile462Val polymorphism with oral cancer risk (Val/Val vs. Ile/Ile--OR = 1.46; 95 % CI = 0.96-2.24; dominant model--OR = 1.01; 95 % CI = 0.81-1.25; and recessive model--OR = 1.46; 95 % CI = 0.96-2.23).
